KILMORE
QUAY
 Kilmore Quay is a
small, rural fishing village, situated in the South-East corner of
Ireland. It is located 22km from Wexford town and just 19km from
the international ferry port of Rosslare.
Kilmore Quay's special characteristics are immediately obvious as
its atmosphere and charm make a lasting impression. The row of
thatched cottages make a strong visual avenue as the visitor
enters the village. It has placid Old World tranquility
emphasised by these traditional neat, white washed houses,
most of which have stood undisturbed for more than two centuries.
The Harbour has the
added attraction of a 55 berth marina which in addition to
the facilities available to the commercial fleet, make the harbour
in Kilmore Quay a must for both leisure and commercial boating.
The facility of the marina has added a new dimension to boating
along the south coast of the country, as it provides safe berthage
and on shore facilities for all mariners.
Kilmore Quay has a
reputation as an angling centre that goes back to the turn
of the century. Species of fish available include
bass, cod,
shark, tope, ling, mackerel, bream, pollock, skate and whiting.
Kilmore Quay offers to the visitors a 'green' approach to its
environment as many of the features so prominent in the area are
dimensions of historical and natural significance, Ballyteigue
Castle, Grange Cemetery, Lifeboat Station, Ballyhealy Castle, St.
Patrick's Bridge, Ballyteigue Burrow for its flora and fauna
importance and of course the Saltee Islands which are the
most famous bird sanctuary in Ireland.
Kilmore Quay and the area around it have many
unspoilt beaches,
which offer miles of finest sand dunes in the south-east. Kilmore
Quay is unique in Europe and the 'Gem' of Ireland
